Well I have to order some steel for this so I might as well order enough to do a few. I will do the first one as soon as I can but I will take orders for others (to be done in line) if anyone is interested.

Stats - The cleavers will be made using O-1 at Rc60-61. The handle may be either full tang or hidden but will be western(ish), probably a single type of wood without a bolster. It will be a little different than what I do with knives - more cleaveresque but not round barrel looking like a CCK. I haven't determined an exact size on the blade (or obviously a weight) but it'll be around 220mm x 110mm but don't hold me to those exact dimensions.

Now for the cost - $575 (plus shipping)*This is an introductory price that may (and likely will) increase if I decide to do more.

I have been wanting a nice cleaver from an American bladesmith, but they are SCARCE. A 220x110 with a nice buckeye burl handle? It
will 4 weeks or so before I can send funds; half now and half on delivery?

Hax the Cook CLEAVERS RULE!!!
